Kerlee and Burnett showed the younger boys how to climb on a mule in true western style. But it was Kerlee’s luck to draw Midnight each time —who did not choose to run —and the result was that his speed and horsemanship were wasted. But Thad had better luck. After driving a scorcher almost to shallow short stop in the top of the fifth, he jumped on White Magic and set out for the promised land. When his donkey tried to slow at third, he gave it the works and roared down the home stretch like Bill Cody in the Pony Express. It was good to see the huge crowd which attended. This should prove our need for seats as well as the fact that the sports fans here will support the right kind of entertainment. There was very little advance publicity given but the crowd covered the field. Per capita Ridgecrest has more members in the Black Mountain Lions club than does Black Mountain. While we were busy learning this from J. Mc- Sweeny at the last Lions meet ing, Will Holman fined the Rev. W. A. Huneycutt 20 cents for being a new' papa, Henry Aid rich, Jr. was being inducted into the club, and a perfect attend ance button was presented to a gentleman who wasn’t there. E. N. Howell paid tribute to the three ladies who organized and arranged the banquet for the Swannanoa athletes which was held Wednesday night, May 12. The three —Miss Ava Buckner, Mrs. Norman, and Miss Ruby Cross, were responsible for the affair which has been drawing the praise of the school officials and students alike. On display in the banquet room of Tingle's case when the more than 50 students, guests, and officials took their seats, were the trophies for win ning the Buncombe county foot ball title last fall and the basket ball championship of the western part of the state which was billed as the Tournament of Champions. Attending the banquet was Roy Alexander, strong supporter of the Swannanoans, who had an opportunity to renew his friend ship with and to introduce the sneaker of the evening, iora Young, former Carolina great and now head coach at Cullowhee. Roy took along a picture made of Young in 1927 while they were seniors at Chapel Hill which he presented to his former classmate. Our friend of the potato and gravy circuit, Bill Ellington of Ellington Studios, ran into a funny situation at the Swan nanoa banquet, thinking that he would return home as soon as he had taken his pictures, Bill ate a hearty meal before leaving home. But he had reckoned without taking into account the hospi tality of the Swannanoans. The ladies in charge had a plate pre pared for Bill and waitresses brought him the works. He never did tell them that an hour before he had eaten a heavy meal at home. The Jaycees are indebted to the Black Mountain Hardware, Broadway Builders Supply, and the Potter Feed and Fertilizer store for the materials which they contributed for the new backstop erected by Bill Holcombe, Bubby Tyson, and others at the softball field last week. “Just to tell you how much 1 have enjoyed the Black Moun tain News the past winter. It’s just like a letter from home.” Sincerely, Mrs. E. G. Griffin, Woodland, N. C. Kenny Mills, who coached the Swannanoa girls during the past season, won the story-telling con test at the Swannanoa athletic banquet. With the time fast run ning out and with his team lead ing by a few points, Kenny sent a substitutes in with instructions to freeze the ball. Slightly excited the sub flew over to the referee and shouted: “Kenny says to freeze the ball.” Parents C. I. McDougle, Mrs. Frank Buckner, Mrs. Jasper Wright, Mrs. R. W. Franklin, and Finley Stepp, who enjoyed the pleasures of the excursion to Canton with Miss Lindsey s class recently, demonstrated the kind of parent cooperation which helps children to have greater interest in school work and community life- ** J *" periences of that kind are high ly. profitable, and. make, for better understanding between children, their parents, and their teachers.

Tvson, Jr., Patty and David Ty son. and Mr and Mrs. Berendt Nordheilm went on a picnic to Camp Hemlock during the week end. After the picnic they went to Mt. Mitchell. _____ In Memoriam Mrs. George E. Haney Funeral services for Mrs. George E.
